Ingredients:

  • 1 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Directions:

  1. Put the orange juice, oil and vanilla extract into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients, then add to the orange juice mixture until a soft dough forms.
  2. Break off pieces of the dough and roll into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, and press one date into the center of each cookie.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  4. After the cookies have cooled, spread the crushed walnuts out on a plate. Mix together the water, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil over the stove.
  5. Dip each cookie into the syrup, then press the bottom of the cookie into the walnuts. Repeat until all the cookies are done.
